I'm being ignored and I've had zero interaction with him.
I've now added him to my friend list.
That'll show him [shakes fist in anger].

Say what we want about the National Anthem, it isn't as bad as Canada's.
O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
Yoda would only be necessary if he was actually useful and himself, but he isn't in the films. So he needs to be cut or you need to call up Frank Oz and reanimate him to be important in the PT.

I've just mentioned this elsewhere but it deserves a mention here.
Do we actually need to see Yoda in the PT at all?
Remember in the OUT how we heard about Jabba but never saw him until ROTJ.
What if throughout the PT there are mentions of this powerful Jedi Master but the name is never attached to anyone we actually see.
He could be any of the others or he could be someone else so when Luke finally meets the great Yoda it really hammers home the physical incongruity.
Most of what Yoda does in the PT is out of character with what he does in the OT and the rest of it doesn't really add up to much.
I really like that idea.
Or, if you had to, you could leave him in as a background character for one scene, but leave him un-named. That way, if someone was watching the movies according to this mythical, hypothetical, crazy-butt scenario where somehow they didn't know a thing about Star Wars and were tested like some lab rat and made to only watch fan-edit versions, they then could see Yoda in ESB and say, "Hey, there's something familiar about that puppet guy. I don't know, maybe I'm crazy."
That is also a good way to go about it. I think the problem with the PT is the fact that George puts in familiar characters to try to sell it to the old school fans as "Hey, it's Yoda, now it is just like the OT" "Hey, it's Chewbacca, just like the OT!"
I think if anything, the only characters that absolutely needed to be shown were Obi Wan, Anikan, Palpy, and Pamedalan.
Yoda is only there to feed the annoying people who quote Yoda all the time.

Master idea. Definitely something I would do if I did prequel edits.

Most people call me ESF without hesitation, so I guess it's perfect.
It may make sense to phonetically spell out acronyms so ESF would become Eeyesseff, though three syllables may be pushing it so how about Yesseff?
People will think I am Middle Eastern.

LMFAO
Sadly, I felt compelled to post another reply, which kind of diminishes the impact of that post. But whatever. I'm (most likely) done now.
The guy obviously knows more than we do, let's not anger him, he might destroy us with his brain.

For educational and historic purposes a case can be made for the fair use of that transfer. I’m not saying my 35mm would do you any good, but yes, preservations have been performed from piece meal prints and sources.
It’s obvious you guys don’t really want to work for this. You just want to bitch.
If you wanted it bad enough, you’d make it happen.
I don't know what it can be used for, but I gotta post it.
I think Timothy Zahn is one of the few EU authors who understands what made Star Wars appealing. Everybody else has always been too busy trying to make their works more canonical instead of fresh and new.

I think you posted that a long time ago in a different thread. It's a good one.
Yeah, that's how I was able to find it.

James Cameron and George Lucas effectively killed film. Not movies, but physical film.
I won't go. 3D tickets are expensive.
Been looking everywhere for this.
Why not just call it the RedLetterMedia Reviews Thread
They posted a trailer for the Episode III review on facebook. It should also be on their site. They also posted a making of the trailer on facebook.
